My true confession

Ta-tsu-wa,
Yet another prize post....the parallel of LF levels to martial arts belts puts the point across clearly and concisely. As well, the method of using non-LF guided meditation as a "marker" of true progress is very valuable indeed.

Hi Daffodil,
Ya Jodie (and Pollyanna and Hana and Edwin and ...many other members) are first rate when it comes to support!
Hi Jim,
I agree with you 100 percent,Pollyana just lights up the forum with such delightful new threads regularly inspiring us new comers.Edwin is a great guy
as well , he is excellent with suggestions in helping and guiding so many of us
and Jodie is always prompt and supportive in her response.

("re-think" on taking 8 weeks on each level).
I have nearly 2 weeks left to complete 8 weeks in LF10 , when i move to level 9 I'll probably take 6 weeks on each level depending on how i feel. I need to contact the support team to confirm if they could be flexible in this term. do let us know how you get on.How often? what times and how long do you meditate?

"I only spent 4 weeks meditating to LF9 before I went LF8 "
Yes,i see lots of people have done 4 weeks on each level. We have one mp3
player with a head phone , my husband and i share it ( trying to get him to meditate , he has just begun with the sample)

Ta-su-wa
Thank you for your valuable insight into how LF helps with longer duration spent on each level. Well said.There are also other people who have same great ideas as yours as Jim said. I'm not rushing through to get to Level one and beyond to achieve a trophy of some kind but I definitely visualise myself to be a more complete person with fuller life through gaining many lessons in a
year's or two's time through life flow.My life has changed for better after discovering LF, Thanks to michael.I'm not just talking about the brain audio entertainment , the support mails from michael, the additional package such as creative flow, the optimal learning and the fantastic people in the forum , the whole package.
Love and peace

Hi Daffodil,
At the time I decided to purchase the CD box set I arranged a deal with Jodie to be able to download each level as I progress. Predominantly, I do the 40 minute download yet use the 60 minute CD as well. Having the CD set, however, leaves me with the temptation to sometimes "jump ahead" which I did a few times. One time I jumped ahead to LF6 to test if the volume was turned down to almost nil would the entrainment still function....OH ya..it sure did .

Prior to that though, I jumped to LF7 on the day that Michael sent the email regarding LF7 and the Schuman Resonance.
That was ......WOW . I started a thread on the forum on that one....

As I am on LF8 last week I "cheated again" and did LF7 twice (but hey one of those days it WAS raining ).....oh ya...

But, I will fight the temptation to "jump ahead" in the future as the guidlines should be respected.

Anyhow, hopefully I have answered your question as per length of meditation.

I do the meditation once at different times during the day (I am between jobs at this time) and then most nights listen to the 40 minute level that my wife uses to fall asleep to (always the level before my current meditation level...therefore LF9 at this time).
As per progress at this time I have not had any overwhelm "yet" but my dreams are really vivid...as per young child level.

I really appreciate Ta-tsu-wa's advice on using non guided meditation (no LF sound) as a marker for progress and when to move on. I will be following that and looking ahead with the appreciation that each level is as valuable as the next. Looking ahead to appreciate that all levels will some day be part of a "tool kit" that will allow meditating at various levels of entrainment.

All in all, I really appreciate this great forum and the people that make it such. Glad you have joined us Daffodil and hope that you will be on this forum for many years as we progress on our journeys.

Hi Jim,
unlike you i have subscribed for every 2 months online download.
anyone would do the same in your place "Having the CD set, however, leaves me with the temptation to sometimes "jump ahead" which I did a few times. One time I jumped ahead to LF6 to test if the volume was turned down to almost nil would the entrainment still function....OH ya..it sure did .
I'm left wondering what's next one going to sound like and leaves me with next level to look forward to.

" I jumped to LF7 on the day that Michael sent the email regarding LF7 and the Schuman Resonance.
That was ......WOW . I started a thread on the forum on that one....
Yes i received the same too and am looking forward to the time i'll get to LF7
for now patience----patience------patience-----.LF seems to be everyone's favourite.

"As I am on LF8 last week I "cheated again" and did LF7 twice (but hey one of those days it WAS raining ).....oh ya... "
Any excuse...so it's that good.
i prefer to meditate in the mornings when London is quite..i love the pindrop silence.evenings can be quite noisy as i live in a busy area and day times always at work but i meditate 40 mins in the evenings due to time factor.
I'll adapt your great idea of meditating during day time, probably do 30mins during lunch break at work.

Thank you Jim ,i'm here to stay .Hope you'll be in the forum for a long time to
come.you have been very generous with your time , encouragement and appreciative of other people's efforts.
Love and peace

Hi Daffodil,
You have chosen the Lifeflow payment vehicle I would have chosen had I not saved the Christmas gift money from my dear Mom for the last few years. I felt it was fitting that I invested in the practice of Lifeflow guided meditation with dollars given to me by my Mom.
I find the offered Lifeflow two month download plan just perfect as people can budget to put aside a few dollars over 60 day time spans.

The CD set purchase comes with a 365 day money back guarantee, however in all fairness if I decide to take this route I would then fully expect to be billed for the sum total of all LifeFlow downloads that Jodie would have made available to me.

My feeling, however, is that I believe LifeFlow will become a welcome addition to my families “toolkit” of wellness practices that will serve us well over the years ahead.

As well, I so much look forward to staying in touch with yourself and many other kind, like-minded people on Project Meditation in the years ahead.

Just like to extend a big huge Thank You to Michael Mackenzie, his team and all others that come together on this global platform.

Hi Jim, having just read your post I think it's wonderful that the gift of LifeFlow is from your mother and I'm sure LifeFlow will serve you and yours for many years.

You are a great asset to this special community - hopefully, together and in true team spirit, we can reach out, help many people improve their health and happiness and bring much peace into the world.

Fifteen months ago my life was a train crash waiting to happen and i was to ashamed to tell the truth of how bad it was and i could not even look at my self. I felt haggard and ugly and very ashamed and addicted to alcahol and cigarettes that i couldnt afford. I felt ashamed and guilty cos i used to be nasty and angry a lot with my family. Then i found this community and it has given me a new lease of life. I thank god and michael every day because i no longer drink or smoke and i have learned to like who i see in the mirror. Its a miracle and i feel like i have a new mind body and spirit. I never thought life could be this good or i could feel as happy and the best thing of all is to see how happy my family is now with the new beth. I'm a proud working mum now and i have lots of time and patiense with my children so if anyone feels as bad as i used to dont ever give up. Thankyou for everything michael love and best wishes to you and everyone XX
